Time Flies.

Well we did have quite a bit of rain during the night and today but thankfully not too bad. No thunder and lightening, maybe I shouldn't speak too soon lol! Hope your day has been good.

Tonight's card was made for Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts for this card I have used their 'Time and Motion' stencil and the beautiful Amethyst, Jade and Silver Sparkle Mediums, my favourite colour combination lol! Make a base card from blue card. Matt a piece of lavender card onto the blue, leaving a small border of the blue showing. Next cut a piece of blue card, smaller than the lavender and, using the stencil, put through an embossing machine. Emboss the left-hand side of the card only. Put this aside for the moment.

Take some white card and colour it using distress inks. Lay the stencil on top of the card and spread the Sparkle Mediums over the stencil. Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry. Using some small circle dies from Nellie Snellen, cut out four circles from the stencilled card. Take a piece of blue card and lay the stencil onto it with one of the clock faces over the card and spread the Amethyst Sparkle Medium over it. When dry, cut out the clock face and layer up all the circles onto the blue embossed card, until you are satisfied with the way your card looks.

Die-cut the smallest circle with two slits in it and thread the ribbon through the slits. Fix the ribbon down the right-hand side of the blue card. Next fix the blue embossed card with the circles on it, onto the base card.

Lastly add a metal pointer (by Ranger), to the centre of the small circle fixed to the ribbon and cut out a small amethyst circle from the left-over card, after spreading the Sparkle Medium. Glue the circle behind the topmost circle. Die-cut an open circle by using to sizes of circle dies together, thus making an open circle.

I'll be back soon with another creation. Have a fabulous weekend everyone. Bye for now.

About Me

Hi there, my name is Jennifer, I have 2 sons and 1 beautiful grandson, who is the light of our lives.My hubby puts up with my addiction to card making, not to mention my untidy craft room. I can't find anything when it is tidy, lol! We live in the peace and tranquility of the countryside where I get some of my inspiration for my creations. I have crafted for most of my life, from cross stitch, porcelain doll making to Pergamano and more, but the last 30 years have been dedicated to card making and is my real passion.I met Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts over 10 years ago, when they asked me to make some cards for them and we have been good friends ever since. I feel truly privileged to be part of their design team. Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog and I hope you find some inspiration for your creations. Hugs, Jennifer xx
